Brad's Status

2017 · 1h 41m · Comedy, Drama

IMDb 6.5 Metacritic 71 RT 78%

Skip it. Brad's Status is a forgettable mid-life crisis comedy that mistakes navel-gazing for insight—Ben Stiller's everyman routine can't save a story about suburban ennui that's been done a thousand times before. Unless you're specifically hungry for a gentle, unremarkable exploration of keeping up with the Joneses, your time is better spent elsewhere.

Plot

Although Brad has a satisfying career, a sweet wife and a comfortable life in suburban Sacramento, things aren't quite what he imagined during his college glory days. When he accompanies his musical prodigy son on a university tour, he can't help comparing his life with those of his four best college friends who seemingly have more wealthy and glamorous lives. But when circumstances force him to reconnect with his former friends, Brad begins to question whether he has really failed or if their lives are actually more flawed than they appear.
